Slow Down & Go Back in Time-Relax Completely in Our Maine Home

Sunny and bright, loads of light! Come and enjoy our clean, comfortable home away from home!

Our cedar-shaked, one-floor home welcomes you with vibrant flowerboxes and several flower beds on an acre in beautiful Maine. The two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with twin beds) are complimented by the large sunny family room (with two queen futons) which leads to a private flagstone patio through French doors. The queen sofa bed in the living room is also available for sleeping. There is one full bathroom with bathtub; the shower has great water pressure to wash away your beach day's sand! Washer/dryer on are on site; there is an outdoor clothesline for drying beach towels and suits.

The home is well-suited for gatherings of your family and friends--settle by the indoor fireplace or relax around the outdoor fire pit for an evening campfire. The open-concept, fully equipped kitchen with bay window and the dining area are easily accessible to the large sunny deck via sliders and doors. The gently sloping lawn supports a large area for children to play safely nearby. Our large library of books allows you to read and relax whether you are out on the deck, down at the Point, or sitting on the beach! Our collection of DownEast magazines may help you plan your Maine adventures and excursions during your stay. And for those rainy days, there are many games and puzzles!

Famous Pemaquid Point Lighthouse lies just south down the road (2.5 miles) and the white sands of Pemaquid Beach are 1 mile east. We are located in the village of New Harbor with a quaint, fully-stocked grocery store, gas station, hardware/fishing gear store, ice cream stand, Maine artists' galleries & craft shops, and a bank/ATM all within walking distance from the house. New Harbor is central to all Midcoast Maine cities and towns--Freeport to Camden are within an hour of travel time. The twin cities of Damariscotta/Newcastle are the closest 'big' towns to our home.

Water sports (kayaking/canoeing, sailing, swimming (ocean, lake, river swimming 'hole'), fine restaurants, birding, Hardy Boat Tours (including Monhegan Island and the Maine coast), hiking, shopping/antiquing are all within several miles of our home. The Botanical Gardens in Boothbay are a must see! For children, there are many activities: beach fun, tide pool explorations, hands-on activities at the local Colonial Pemaquid Museum and the Boothbay Harbor Aquarium to name a few.


Keywords: Pemaquid Point, village home, peaceful, comfortable, Pemaquid Beach, Colonial Pemaquid,
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

A clean, spacious, comfortable place, well located to explore area attractions or simply to relax. Pemaquid Beach is a real gem and only minutes away; dogs are allowed Oct 16 through Apr 30. Martha is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Something to know: House is railroad style—people sleeping on the futons in the family have to go through the bedroom with the full-size bed to reach the rest of the house, and anyone sleeping in that bedroom has to go through the living room. So, a potential privacy issue if your party doesn’t fit in the two bedrooms.

Charming and Homey!

This rental was affordable and ideal for our family. The home is chock full of Maine doo-dads and what-nots, quilts, tapestries, books, games, etc. A small grocery store is a pleasant 5 minute walk (get there early to get their amazing fresh made pastries every morning), as well as a wonderful ice cream stand. We would love to stay here again!

It was the perfect spot for my short getaway stay. The house has a very homey feel, and the spacious deck and yard are lovely and very private even though the house is on a busy road. As a first time vrbo user, I was particularly impressed by how responsive the owner was to any questions or concerns I had. The house was also immaculately clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to family and friends who want a holiday in this lovely part of Maine.
